    摘要: Methods of controlling deposition of metal on field regions of a substrate in an electroplating process are provided. In one aspect, a dielectric layer is deposited under plasma on the field region of a patterned substrate, leaving a conductive surface exposed in the openings. Electroplating on the field region is reduced or eliminated, resulting in void-free features and minimal excess plating. In another aspect, a resistive layer, which may be a metal, is used in place of the dielectric. In a further aspect, the surface of the conductive field region is modified to change its chemical potential relative to the sidewalls and bottoms of the openings.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for reducing particle contamination in a plasma processing chamber. In one embodiment, a pasting disk is provided which includes a disk-shaped base of high-resistivity material that has an electrically conductive pasting material layer applied to a top surface of the base so that the pasting material layer partially covers the top surface of the base. The pasting disk is sputter etched to deposit conductive pasting material over a wide area on the interior surfaces of a plasma processing chamber while minimizing deposition on dielectric components that are used to optimize the sputter etch process during substrate processing.

    摘要: A method of filling copper into a high-aspect ratio via by a plasma sputter process and allowing the elimination of electrochemical plating. In one aspect of the invention, the sputtering is divided into a first step performed at a low temperature of no more than 100° C. and with at least portions of high wafer bias, thereby filling a lower half of the hole, and a second step performed at a higher temperature, e.g., at least 200° C. and with at least portions of low wafer bias to complete the hole filling. In another aspect of the invention, diffusion promoting gas such as hydrogen is added to the copper sputter plasma. In still another aspect, copper sputtering, even in the final fill phase, is performed through multiple cycles of low-level and high-level pedestal bias to deposit copper on exposed corners and to sputter from the corners.

The method further includes determining, via a computing device, whether the sensor offset was measured during the execution of the first procedure, scheduling a second procedure to execute in response to detecting a second event if the sensor offset was not measured during the first procedure, and scheduling the first procedure to execute in response to detecting a subsequent occurrence of the first event if the sensor offset was measured during the first procedure.
